No. But there is a Dark Horse comics series, "Aliens vs. Predator", that would have made for a far more compelling story. It features Predators seeing a planet known to Humans as Ryushi being seeded with Alien eggs as part of a hunting ritual for younger adult Predators.
Caught between the two species are, of course, Humans. In this case a colony that farms a cattle species known as Rhynth. Rhynth resemble a small Rhinoceros.
The Dark Horse comic series also resembles the good films from both series tonally to boot.

A team of explorers, led by Alexa "Lex" Woods (Sanaa Lathan) and assembled by Charles Bishop Weyland (Lance Henriksen), head of Weyland Industries, travels to Bouvetøya, aka Bouvet Island, an island off the northern coast of Antarctica to investigate an underground "heat bloom" in the shape of a massive pyramid that they have detected via satellite and find themselves caught in a skirmish/hunt between Alien kind and Predator kind.
Neither and both. Alien vs. Predator and its 2007 sequel, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007), set up a whole new premise whereby the feral creatures from the Alien series and the high-tech creatures from the Predator series meet and do battle on modern day Earth. It is, however, a prequel to the Alien films and a sequel to the Predator films in some respects, as the movie acknowledges aspects of those movies and may be considered part of the same universe of both film series. It's a matter of debate as to whether Alien vs. Predator really is part of the same canon for both movies series or should be considered its own self-contained "side" continuity that is built on the originals.
The Predator ship. This is shown about 10 minutes into the film while the Predator ship is nearing earth. The ship sends out a beam that reaches to the surface of Bouvetøya. Although it isn't shown, this is what drills the 2,000-foot tunnel down to the pyramid.
In Predator (1987), it is said that the Predators only appear in "the hottest years". In Predator 2 (1990) it is said that, in the past, Predators have appeared in Iwo Jima, Beirut and Cambodia, as they are drawn to heat and conflict. While the latter two areas have a hot climate, Iwo Jima was very cold and rainy during the U.S. offensive of World War II. On the other hand, Dark Horse Comics' Predator: Cold War (early 1990s) features predators hunting humans in Siberia. In the comic (and also the book of the same name), the predators crash landed in Siberia, and the crash gave off a lot of radiation warming up the surrounding area, so they were not affected by the cold. In one of the "Alien versus Predator" games, it is made evident that among the humans, the Aliens, and the Predators, the latter is the toughest and most resistant of all three species, being able to withstand fire, falls, and wounds better than the other two species. Also, the Predator in Los Angeles, in Predator 2, had no apparent qualms about visiting the inside of a large, operational meat locker. In short, it has never been stated that Predators cannot stand cold. Although they prefer heat, they can apparently also function when it is cold. A possible reason for the preference has to do with two facts: that a Predator's vision is thermographic (i.e. infrared), and that Predators to a degree seek challenges; meaning that living prey (which give off a heat) would be too easily discerned (by virtue of the stark contrast) from the cold backdrop and therefore too easily hunted/defeated. Also, it's made evident in flashbacks that the area around the pyramid wasn't always a sub-zero environment.
Yes and no. Aliens are referred to as "xenomorphs", a term first given by Gorman in Aliens (1986), but this term is in fact actually a general word that can be used for any alien/unknown creature. Xenomorph literally means "alien form" from the Greek xeno, meaning strange, and morph, meaning shape. Beyond that, the species has never been given an official name within the canon, but as fans like and accept the term, it has remained.
In Dark horse Alien comics, this species is called "Linguaphoeda Acheronsis" (literally "Dread tongue from Acheron" -Acheron is the planet of the first encounter-).
As for the Predators, they too have never been given an official name within the films they appear, but in the expanded universe of novels and comics they are called the Yautja.
Since the Aliens are not released until the Predators obtain the plasma cannons, they would have had to wait for at least a day before they could hunt the creatures, had the gestation time been the same as in the previous Alien films. It would be logical for the Predators to speed up the life cycle. The manner in which they accomplished this is uncertain. One possibility is that the Aliens' life cycle becomes faster in the atmosphere they're exposed to. In other words, on planets with lesser atmosphere, their life cycle takes longer and on planets with stronger atmosphere, their life cycle becomes faster.
Alien (1979): On LV-426, there was probably little oxygen (it was a "primordial atmosphere" according to Ash). It took about 24 hours for an Alien embryo to grow and almost 24 hours for an Alien to mature. And the rest of the story continued aboard the Nostromo, which has oxygen but is still different from Earth's.
Aliens (1986): Also on LV-426, this time with a breathable atmosphere. However, it is probably not ready yet (lower oxygen content than on Earth). We see one person being attacked by a Facehugger (in the Special Edition), but we don't see the Chestburster hatch. We also have one woman being killed by an Alien bursting out of her, but no info as to when she was implanted. The fact that one subject was killed when the Facehugger was removed before implanting suggests this process takes considerably longer than a few minutes.
Alien³ (1992): Took place on Fury161 which had a different air than Earth, which would explain why the Alien grew faster than in Alien but slower than in AvP. The embryo in Ripley took about a week to grow because the Alien was a Queen, which takes longer then the other Aliens.
Alien Resurrection (1997): As in Alien, the movie took place on a ship, which has oxygen tanks but the air is different than on Earth, which would explain why it took a few hours for the Alien at the end to break out.
Alien vs. Predator: Took place on Earth with stronger atmosphere; on Earth, it may take 10 1/2 minutes for the Aliens to grow, much faster then on LV-426, Fury161 and space ships, which would explain why the Predators picked Earth, because it also had humans they could use. And the Predalien inside Scar Predator took longer because it was a Queen.
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007): Facehuggers on the Predator shuttle were in spaceship oxygen for who knows how long, and as in Alien and Resurrection, it takes longer when exposed to air tanks, which is why it took a few hours for the Facehuggers' embryos to mature and hatch. And the rest of the Aliens were directly implanted into women's bellies by the Hybrid. In any case, they were implanted on Earth, which is why it took about 10 1/2 minutes for them to grow up.
Another possibility is that the Aliens mature faster when they've recently been born. In other words, the younger the eggs and Facehuggers, the faster the Aliens grow and mature; the older the eggs and Facehuggers, the longer it takes for them to mature.
Alien: The eggs were perhaps thousands of years old, which could explain why it took 24 hours for the embryo to be implanted and mature, and almost 24 hours for the Alien itself to grow to full height.
Aliens: Same eggs as in ]Alien, which goes a long way to explain why these Aliens take some time to grow and mature. Also, the Queen was born from this hive, so she could also lay "old" eggs with a slowed-down cycle.
Alien 3: One egg originating from a Queen that was born from an old egg. The other Facehugger in this film was a Queen Facehugger. It took a few hours for the Dog/Ox Alien (Depending on which version you watch) to be born. As for the Queen embryo, it may take a longer time for a Queen to grow.
Alien Resurrection: The military might have had eggs for a while and seemed to have bred 14 Aliens (including the Alien that blew up in the escape pod and the first Alien Ripley killed) in a few hours or days. So the eggs may have been laid a few days before implantation. There were seven people implanted and there seemed to be about 15 hosts, which means they may have bred seven Aliens at a time. Purvis was among the first batch of people to get implanted (he can be seen among them in the implantation scene), so it is unexplained why it takes his Alien until the end of the film to out of his chest. Perhaps he is in ill health, which may slow down the growth.
Alien vs. Predator: The team in the sacrificial chamber was implanted a few minutes after the eggs were laid, so the eggs were fresh. The Queen was older, but the Predators' methods to keep her in cryostasis may preserve her better than the ship on LV-426 did. That may explain why they matured so fast. The Predalien at the end is a Predator/Queen hybrid, which explains its longer maturation time (a few hours, compared to several days for the Queen in Alien 3).
Aliens vs Predator - Requiem: The Facehuggers in this film were kept in tubes for an indeterminate period and after they found a host it took about 24 hours for the Aliens to grow. The embryos the Hybrid laid in the women's bellies birthed a few hours later because they were just laid.
A third theory is that the Aliens have been engineered. If it was a weapon of war, you want some time from implantation to expulsion so that the host can get back to his own kind and spread the infection and to make sure the Chestburster doesn't pop out before the host is back where you want him or her to be. The Predators may have re-engineered the Alien Queen in the chamber to produce quicker maturing eggs that produce quicker growing Aliens, so that the Predators could get there and have a lot of fast prey to hunt in an hour or so instead of having to wait a whole day.

The movie offers an explanation for this, albeit a fictional one. It is said that Antarctica (including Bouvet Island, although this is not actually a part of Antarctica as the movie suggests) used to be free of ice, making it habitable. However, this was several million years ago, before humans ever evolved. A better explanation is that, since the pyramid is located in a cave under the ice and Bouvet Island is prone to volcanic activity, geothermal warmth would be strong enough to melt the ice and snow in some surface areas. Geothermal warmth could have also sustained the inhabitants of the pyramid inside the cave, along with warmth produced by the Predator technology embedded in the pyramid. Though we don't actually know how old the human race is and since the civilization was in Antarctica before the humans crossed the world after the explosion, we found no evidence there because we did not think to look or the evidence might have been wiped out by the Predator explosion. It's possible the human race started a lot earlier than we think and was wiped out, so it still would be possible for the humans to build the pyramids on Antarctica way before it iced over.
Either the pyramid in the flashback was a different one or another group of Predators could have rebuilt it for their hunting purposes. It's also possible that the explosion destroyed all biological life, but left the structure intact. Alternatively; this wasn't actually a flashback, but just a depiction of the story that Sebastian was reading.
In 1904, the Predators used the inhabitants of the whaling station, to which Lex makes reference. The only other bodies found inside the pyramid belonged to the ancient civilization. After that civilization was wiped out, the Predators could have abducted people and brought them to the island, used animals, or cleaned up after themselves. The most likely answer (given that there were no bodies except those in the sacrificial chamber) is that the pyramid lay dormant until 1904. Then 100 years later, when technology was advanced enough, they could lure people there with the heat bloom.
These could have been different clans or tribes, each with their own different hunting rituals. Or perhaps the Predator "society" has different castes with certain privileges for the highest members. In any way, since Aliens form the "ultimate prey" (in the AvP movies) and are not easily obtainable, perhaps only the most promising hunters from privileged tribes or the highest caste are eligible for this ritual. This excludes the majority of Predators from participating in this particular ritual, who may have to resort to other ways of obtaining a respectable status. Depending on experience, this could be hunting for humans in a carefully constructed hunting ground (as seen in Predators (2010)), or hunting humans in their natural habitat (Predator (1987) and Predator 2 (1990)).
Another theory is that first they hunt humans as their initiation test. If they are successful in hunting worthy humans, they then team up with two other hunters of equal standing and hunt the Aliens to become official clan members. (Though this contradicts part of the storytelling in some of the Alien vs. Predator comics/novels where humans are the ultimate prey. So it would be vice-versa and the Aliens would be the initiation and the humans would be the ultimate. Though the other way around makes more sense as Aliens can see Predators when they're cloaked, they don't panic and even when wounded or maimed they still pose a great threat. Whereas humans are the opposite.)
A third theory could be that the mark means you are one of the skilled hunters, which means if you slay an Alien then you are an ultimate hunter. So it could mean they did not have marking because they did not take part in the ritual and didn't mark themselves. In AvP backstories (especially AvP: Prey), the hunting of the Aliens precedes the hunting of humans. The novice hunters go with a group to hunt Aliens and become "blooded", after which they are allowed to hunt on their own. Chances are this part of the backstory was not invented before the earlier movies, and therefore would not have existed. Another theory is that certain groups of Predators hunting the Aliens are required to have different trophies. In AvP, they are required to burn the symbol in their forehead. However, in Predator 2, when the camera pans around the spaceship, a skull that strongly resembles an alien head can be seen on the wall of the ship. The skull may have been the required trophy for that particular Predators hunting group. This may also be an indication of how Scar knew that the alien head would protect Lex like a shield.

They most likely just didn't have time, so they strung them up to skin them, but Quinn spotted them, so they had to chase him down and take care of him first, and they followed him down the ice chute so they didn't bother wasting time going back up to skin their first victims. Predators are on Antarctica for hunting Aliens for a coming of age ritual, the humans are merely collateral damage and were used for breeding the Aliens. They were only killed by the Predators when they got in the way.
Scar got his name because of the mark he burned into his forehead. Grid was named for the grid-like battle scars on his head. Chopper was named for his long arm blades (he is also referred to as Gill, due to the gill like designs on his helmet). Celtic was probably named due to the designs of his mask and armor that give him a slightly Gaelic look.
In the original Predator (1987) film, Dutch said to Anna, "Don't, leave it (the gun). He didn't kill you because you weren't armed, no sport." A Predator will only hunt if the prey proves it can fight (Do not forget that Predator is a different spin on the classic "Most Dangerous Game", but instead of man hunting man the twist is, well, fairly obvious). This is done by either attacking it or carry a weapon. The type of weapon really does not matter. In the first film, Dutch was theorizing this due to observation. Whoever attacked or stood up to the Predator was "fair game". It is true that Dutch had no modern weapons at the end of the first Predator film, but Dutch still attacked the Predator with weapons made from his supplies, using natural camouflage (i.e. the mud) and natural surroundings. Not to mention, Dutch as well as the rest of his team, had been carrying weapons the entire time. The Predator granted Dutch a "fair" fight", to show respect towards him. Basically stating the Predator recognized Dutch as an equal opponent, not prey. It killed Billy who was armed with a knife and Mac who, although left his weapons behind in order to bait the Predator, still carried previously and fired upon the Predator. In AVP, yes, they attacked the humans, but everyone at base camp was carrying firearms and, in the temple, some people were carrying semi-automatics. They also had the shoulder cannons, even if they did not know how to use them. If you carry a weapon, you are still considered armed. When Weyland tried to fight the Predator to give Lex and Sebastian a chance to escape, the Predator scanned his body and found that he was sick. In Predator society, there is no honor in killing a sick, unarmed old man, so it walked past him. He was only killed after burning the Predator with the torch. They also attacked the humans that had the weapons from the case. When Lex kneels and offers the weapon to a Predator, he stops and takes it from her, and doesn't attack her. It's possible that, had they been unarmed and handed over the weapons from the beginning, the Predators would have had no reason to continue pursuing the humans (as several Aliens had already been "born").
Yes, they can. In all three Predator movies, as well as the two AvP movies, the Predators all have their masks removed for extended periods of time and seem to have no difficulty breathing, howling, growling, making their clicking noises, roaring, and speaking English words. As an example, the City Hunter from Predator 2 (1990) was without its mask for almost the entire third act of the film, but it was also shown to have a small device it put over its mouth and took three or four deep breaths. After this, the device is never used again. It was likely because City Hunter was severely wounded and was either having difficulty breathing or the mask held a sort of stimulant to keep him going until he was able to treat his wounds. Another point to add to this is when Harrigan is on board the Predator's ship at the end of the same movie, he is able to breathe perfectly fine and the Elder Predator didn't have a mask on. This shows that they were both breathing oxygen. There is a common misconception that the Predator's mask is used for breathing, yet no other part of their equipment shows to be air tanks (but this doesn't rule out the possibility that the mask uses some sort of air-filtration unit, seeing as how it appears to be airtight).
Before Time - It dates back to Antarctica during the dawn of the human race where a Predator tribe comes to Earth and teach the humans how to built a civilization of pyramids and the Predators used them as hosts to breed the Aliens for the Predators' coming of age ritual. But something went wrong, the Aliens grew too large in number, overwhelmed the city and the Predators were forced to blow it sky high. Either one Pyramid survived or the Predators rebuilt one.

In order to achieve the PG-13 rating for its theatrical release, the film had to be cut in terms of violence. The also available unrated edition runs almost 8 minutes longer than the theatrical cut and adds more story and gore to the film.
